  It is X47. I got my first sight of it this afternoon. It is now (2.30pm)
coupled to a G at loco pointing toward Melbourne. 9137 was X53+X54  so the
G+X47 will probably run the 4.20pm up or the 6pm up this afternoon. (I hope
that is still the running from Geelong to Melbourne these days on the BG).

  Cheers,
